Chalkboard Calendar and Menu Board

I’m working on a Kitchen Command center to help keep me organized.  I’ve got a few more details to add, but I wanted to share this sneak peek.

Over the weekend, I created a Chalkboard Calendar and a Chalkboard Menu board using chalkboard spray paint.  As usual, I’m late jumping on the chalkboard bandwagon, and this is only my 3rd spray paint project.  (Remember when I tackled the bathroom cabinets with spray paint?)  I’ve been wanting to try some chalkboard paint for a few years now, and finally I have!  I purchased 2 picture frames from Michael’s (both 40% off!) and sprayed the glass with 2 coats of chalkboard spray paint.  You let it dry, then “cure” it by rubbing chalk all over, then erasing.  That’s it!

(Looking forward to changing the yellow paint, too!)

I’m going to order some Chalk Ink to use with my chalkboards (it was sold out everywhere I looked), and I may outline the calendar squares in paint pen for a more permanent look.  I’m super happy with how they turned out, and I can’t wait to finish the entire Kitchen Command Center!  I’m also itchin’ to spray paint something else with chalkboard paint…maybe something for The Littlest Apple’s room?

Have you ever tried Chalkboard Spray Paint?
